Support groups meet in person in counties across Florida and online in our LupusConnect Community.
People with lupus often feel alone with their disease and the everyday struggles that the disease brings to their lives, especially during times when the disease is active. LFA support groups provide a warm and caring environment where people with lupus, their family members, caregivers and loved ones can share their experiences, methods of coping and insights into living with this chronic illness. Our support group facilitators are certified and have been through LFA training.
Support Groups meet:
In-person
In-person support groups meet monthly in counties across Florida (see below). We are adding additional groups regularly. Find a support group near you. Please call to confirm that groups will be meeting. There is no cost to attend and no need to pre-register.
Online
LupusConnect is online lupus community where individuals with lupus and their loved ones can engage with others like them to share experiences, find emotional support and discuss practical insights for coping with the daily challenges of the disease.
